What are some advantages and disadvantages to living 1984 by George Orwell's society?

Some advantages to living in this society would
include:

1. COMMON LIFESTYLES: The classes in this society
   occur, but the great majority of proles and Party members understand their positions and don't
   work to change them. People know where they stand. Their rations as distributed are much more
   equal than compared to what current societies today see used throughout their classes. We have
   the very filthy rich, and the most dirt poor in our societies
   today.


2. PARENTING RELIEF: Since the children are in school being so
   coaxed to love and have devotion for Big Brother, parents don't have to worry about vying for
   their children's affection, it is already a lost cause. I would assume too that they see their
   children less hours of the day.


3. SECURITY: In a society like
   1984's as long as you follow rules and show devotion, you will be protected
   because there are telescreens everywhere to help determine when any kind of wrong
   occurs.

The disadvantages of such a society are as
follows:

1. LOSS OF IDENTITY: A person wouldn't get to
   choose the career path that interested them, they would do what they were told. Clothing to
   express one's self and the ability to make choices on a daily basis would be completely lost in
   this society.


2. LOSS OF RELATIONSHIPS: Although Julia and Winston
   make a relationship somewhat work, you can see how not only sex for pleasure is frowned upon, but
   having anyone to talk with for more than a few seconds is frowned upon. The constant oversight of
   who you talk to and what you are talking about would drive today's people
   crazy.


3. LOSS OF CULTURE: Winston doesn't really share any activity
   that adults do or children do that help define a culture as one with positive traditions or
   values, they just exist.
